Advice and guidance at every stage of your thesis
We help students structure their research, organize literature, and prepare a bachelor's, master's or doctoral thesis that meets academic standards — through mentoring, consulting, and technical refinement, in Croatian or English.

"Where do I start? With the main part, following the outline, or how?"
Questions everyone asks
"I've gathered piles of literature and I'm slowly getting lost in it all..."
That's exactly where we step in
"My topic was approved, but I don't know where to begin."
We help from the very first step
Why our consulting helps
Writing an academic paper
brings many challenges.
Your topic has been approved. You've gathered a pile of literature, articles, and materials — and you're slowly getting lost, because every source leads to new ones.
You have a stack of notes and don't know how to organize them. Your desk is buried under literature related to your topic.
Are there any rules? You need guidance —
that's where our mentoring comes in.
Topic selection & registration
We advise you on defining a topic that is research-relevant and acceptable to both you and your mentor. The topic proposal is prepared as a short, formal outline of your future bachelor's, master's, specialist, or doctoral thesis. Its goal is not to write the entire paper, but to show that the topic is clear, research-justified, feasible, and methodologically sound. As a rule, a topic proposal contains the following elements: title, rationale, research problem and subject, objectives, research questions/hypotheses, research methods, expected contribution, an outline structure, and references. When proposing a topic, the most important things are that it is not too broad, that there is a clear connection between the title, problem, objectives, questions/hypotheses, and methodology, and that it is immediately apparent the research can actually be carried out.
Organizing literature
We advise you on structuring sources, selecting relevant literature, and establishing a theoretical framework. APA style – the most common in psychology, education, social sciences, healthcare, economics, and management. In text it usually appears as: (Horvat, 2020) or (Horvat, 2020, p. 25). The most widely used version is currently APA 7th edition. Harvard style – very similar to APA as it uses the author–date method: (Horvat, 2020). Common in economics, business studies, and social sciences, but it has no single universal version and varies between universities. Chicago style – has two main variants. The first is notes and bibliography, with footnotes and a bibliography, common in history, humanities, and theology. The second is author-date, similar to the APA/Harvard system. MLA style – the most common in literature, language, cultural studies, and the humanities. In text it usually cites the author and page: (Horvat 25). Vancouver style – uses numbered sources, e.g. (1) or a superscript number. Most common in medicine, biomedicine, and natural sciences. IEEE style – a numbered style, most common in electrical engineering, computing, technical sciences, and engineering. Sources are cited in text as [1], [2], etc. OSCOLA style – a legal citation style, particularly in the United Kingdom. Based on footnotes and used for legislation, case law, legal articles, and books. Bluebook – the American legal citation style, very detailed and standard in U.S. legal writing. AMA style – used in medicine and health sciences, with numbered citations, similar to Vancouver but with its own rules. ACS style – used in chemistry. It may use a numbered system or an author–date system, depending on the journal. CSE style – used in biology and natural sciences. It has several variants: citation-sequence, name-year, and citation-name. Turabian style – a simplified version of the Chicago style, often used for student papers in the humanities and social sciences. In Croatian academic papers, the most commonly required styles are APA, Harvard, Chicago/footnotes, Vancouver, or the style prescribed by the faculty. If the faculty has not prescribed a style, APA 7 is usually the safest choice for social and health topics, footnotes/OSCOLA or the faculty's legal style for law, and Vancouver for medicine.
Methodology, research & statistical data analysis
We help students define the subject, objectives, and hypotheses, and advise on conducting research on a given sample. Statistical methods can be grouped according to the purpose of the analysis. The most common groups are as follows. Descriptive statistics are used to describe data. They include frequencies, percentages, mean, median, mode, minimum, maximum, range, variance, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and graphical displays such as bar charts, histograms, pie charts, and box plots. Inferential statistics are used to draw conclusions about a population based on a sample. These include confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, p-values, and assessing statistical significance. Difference tests examine whether there is a statistically significant difference between groups. The most common are the t-test for two groups, ANOVA for three or more groups, the Mann-Whitney U test for two independent groups when data are not normally distributed, the Wilcoxon test for paired samples, the Kruskal-Wallis test for multiple independent groups, and the chi-square test for differences between categorical variables. Correlation tests examine the relationship between variables. The most commonly used are Pearson's correlation for linear relationships between numerical variables, Spearman's correlation for ordinal data or data that are not normally distributed, and Kendall's tau for ranked data. Regression methods are used to predict or explain the relationship between a dependent variable and independent variables. These include simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, logistic regression, ordinal regression, Poisson regression, panel regression, hierarchical regression, and moderation/mediation analysis. Multivariate methods are used when several variables are analyzed simultaneously. The most common are factor analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), cluster analysis, discriminant analysis, MANOVA, canonical correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM). Methods for checking the reliability and validity of measurement instruments are used with survey questionnaires and scales. The best known are Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and item internal consistency analysis. Time series methods are used when data are tracked over time. They include trend analysis, seasonality, moving averages, ARIMA models, VAR models, and stationarity tests. Non-parametric methods are used when data do not meet the conditions of normal distribution or when variables are ordinal. These include Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis, the Friedman test, Spearman's correlation, and the chi-square test. Methods for categorical data are used when variables are nominal or ordinal. The most common are the chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, logistic regression, and measures of association such as Cramer's V and the Phi coefficient. In simplest terms: if you are only describing a sample, you use descriptive statistics. If you are comparing groups, you use difference tests. If you are examining a relationship, you use correlation. If you want to predict or explain the influence of one or more variables, you use regression.
Proofreading & technical editing
Proofreading, stylistic refinement, and technical editing before submission. This phase covers the linguistic and technical processing of the paper with the aim of removing linguistic, stylistic, technical, and formal shortcomings and checking the text's compliance with academic standards. A detailed review is carried out of the paper's structure, clarity of expression, logical sequence of chapters, connection between paragraphs, consistency of terminology, correctness of citation, and formatting of references. Special attention is paid to removing repetition, unclear formulations, spelling and grammatical errors, and aligning the paper with the guidelines of the faculty or mentor. Originality checking includes reviewing the text for proper paraphrasing, source attribution, and avoiding unmarked borrowing of others' formulations. The goal is to ensure the paper is clearly, neatly, academically acceptably, and technically ready for submission.
